Description

This course presents a comprehensive investigation and the fundamentals of creating a brain-compatible learning environment which recognizes and supports individual learning styles and multiple intelligences. This course is designed to foster a deeper understanding of neuroscience, social emotional learning, and the impact of trauma on learning and the instructional process. This understanding will include sensory memory, short term memory, long term memory, concepts, and concept formation. The basics of learning modalities and preferences will be explored along with planning lessons and assessments to match different modalities and preferences. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the similarities of the brain'sneeds in the learning process in contrast to the differences and unique needs of each learner.
